A Tale of Two Teams

Fowlerville has had a challenging season, with a 1-7 overall record. Their performance has been subpar both at home and on the road, where they have a combined 0-4 record.

On the other hand, Mason has been a powerhouse this season, boasting an impressive 9-1 record. The team is perfect in their league games, with a 3-0 record, and they’ve shown dominance in home games, going 6-0.

With 628 points scored and 488 points allowed, Mason has demonstrated the ability to consistently outscore opponents.

Scoring Averages and Performance

Both teams have shown differing scoring patterns throughout the season. While Fowlerville averages 51.8 points per game, Mason has been significantly more prolific, putting up 62.8 points per game. This disparity in scoring speaks to the overall efficiency and offensive power that Mason brings to the table compared to Fowlerville’s more inconsistent attack.
